PHYSICAL SCIENCE "Paralleling the growth of Weber College, the Physical Science Division has evolved educated programs in all major fields of engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, and photography," states Merlon L. Stevenson, division chairman. "From the beginning a close correlation has been maintained with the senior institutions to insure the students the best possible preparation for upper division work," adds Mr. Stevenson. "Space travel, missiles, computers, and electronics represent a few of the many demanding areas of the physical science. These demands will grow." Merlon L. Stevenson Division Head Jack Atkins A.

Terry Glen M. Alexander Gerald Duane Smith "Immediate effect of the launching of the first earth satellite, Sputnik, was to bring an increased emphasis upon mathematics and the other physical sciences, undoubtedly with justification," declares Dr. Dello G. Dayton, chairman of the Social Science Division. "It will be unfortunate, however, if this emphasis means neglect of the humanities and social sciences. "As a matter of fact," he continues, "this event, which points up the relative proximity of regions of the world and of the universe, graphically demonstrates problems of society which will become more intricate in the future. "Since the major aim of the social sciences is to throw light on the problems of living in society, it is hoped that within the framework of the legislative authority providing four years of college work in arts and sciences, Weber College will expand and improve its program in social sciences. The present program for the two-year college is broad and rich. But in view of the growing complexity and interdependence of society, Weber would be remiss in its responsibility if it neglected this important area of a liberal arts college. "This division of study is concerned with giving its students a consciousness of the world and its peoples. The cultural environment and human association of student and worker instill in the social science student a feeling of responsibility for the development of the world. "All classes in this area are designed to include the historical basis of our democracy; the transition of human development through all its facets in society; and social skills as they are tied in with social relationships. "Within the four-year college," Dr. Dayton forecasts, "the social sciences will provide needed general education for all students and professional training for those- who wish to follow occupational pursuits in this area of study."
